ICC rescinds demerit point given to Pindi Cricket Stadium

Firstpost  

Dubai: The ICC has rescinded the demerit point given to the Pindi Cricket Stadium last month following an appeal by the Pakistan Cricket Board. The ICC said in a statement on Monday that after having reviewed the footage of the test match between Pakistan and England, the game’s governing body felt “there were several redeeming features, including the fact that a result was achieved following a compelling game, with 37 out of a possible 39 wickets being taken.” The new PCB management committee, under the chairmanship of Najam Sethi, lodged an appeal against the demerit point soon after it was given prior to New Zealand’s tour to Pakistan for two test matches and three ODIs. It was the second demerit point given to the stadium after only 15 wickets fell over five days during a drawn test match between Pakistan and Australia in March 2022. A “below average” rating earns a venue one demerit point, while “poor” and “unfit” ratings earn three and five demerit points respectively.
